Consider the following verses:
God sets forth parables for humanity in order that they
may bear (them) in mind and take lessons (through them). (14:25)
Such parables do We set forth for humanity so that they
may reflect. (59:21)
Once two people washed themselves in a pool and fell into a
trance‑like state. Upon awakening they found themselves in a land of perfect
order and harmony. They looked around in amazement: It appeared to them as a
vast world a well‑ordered state a splendid city. If it was looked at from
still another point of view it was a palace that was in itself a magnificent
world. They traveled and saw its creatures speaking a language they did not
know. However their gestures indicated that they were doing important work and
carrying out significant duties.
